So just wanting some help would you buy yr 5 year old a cd player. she is a very social child thanks for your help in advance

definately!
jack has one of those toy ones from kmart that plays musical kids songs and he loves it! he loves sitting in his room with 'his stereo playing his songs'

It's a great idea!

Alia in the last 2-3 months has started listening to her music to go to sleep at night. She also puts in stories as well. She absolutely loves it.

She has our mini stereo that DH put in her room while undercoating the hallway & it's stayed there cause she loves it so much. ( not that the hallway got it's topcoats yet LOL)

Definitely won't isolate her!

We didn't get a portable one - we got a mini system stereo and she has that in her room - mostly she still uses ours in the lounge but when she needs some time away from her younger sister, or when we are sick of listening to the same song for the 10th time - she goes off to her room and puts on her own cds and chills out in her own time.

Sometimes it's good for them be able to have their own space and to learn to take themselves away from things and have some time just to themselves... especially as they get older and their siblings get more annoying! lol
